Yes and no. A negative number and it's opposite are 'integers.' Yes, a negative and a negative multiplied together give you a positive. The two negative signs cancel out making it positive. But no, a positive and a positive multiplied together do not give you a negative. When you subtract positive numbers you can get a negative, but not when multiplying. If you were to do a positive times a negative it would be negative because the positive can't cancel it out. Example: -3 · -3 = 9. [] 3 · 3 = 9. [] -3 · 3 = -9. Other than the positive number part, the statement is true about the negatives. I hope that helped!

Answer:
<u>112 children</u>
<u>180 adults</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of adults = A
Let the number of children = C
A + C =292
4A + 1.5C = 888. solve for A, C
A = 292 - C
4[292 - C] + 1.5C = 888
1,168 - 4C + 1.5C = 888
-2.5C = - 280
C = -280 / -2.5
C = 112 - Number of children
292 - 112 = 180 - Number of adults
